COURSES OFFERED

Radiographic Testing (RT) (Not offered on regular basis)

Radiographic testing involves the use of penetrating X or gamma radiation to examine parts and products for imperfections. An X-ray machine or radioactive isotope is used as a source of radiation. Radiation is directed through a part and onto the lm. When the lm is developed, a shadowgraph is obtained that shows the internal soundness of the part.

Ultrasonic Testing (UT)Ultrasonic testing uses the transmission of high frequency sound waves into a material to detect imperfections within the material or changes in material properties. The most commonly used ultrasonic testing method is Pulse echo, wherein sound is introduced into the test object and reections are returned to a receiver from internal imperfections and geometrical surfaces of the part.

Eddy Current Testing (ET)Eddy current Testing is based on the principle that a coil in air with alternating current owing through it has unique and measurable resistive and inductive reactance components of it’s electrical impedance. Eddy currents are induced when an electrically conductive test object is placed close to the coil. Mutual induction occurs and both components of the circuit impedance are changed by a given amount. This change is based on frequency of AC used, proximity between probe coil and test part, dimensions of the test part, it’s conductivity, permeability and the presence of aws or discontinuities.

Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)Magnetic particle testing is done by inducing a magnetic eld in a ferromagnetic material and dusting the surface with Iron particles.Surface imperfections will distort the magnetic eld and concentrate the iron particles near the imperfections, thus indicating their presence.

NDT Technology (P) LTD was founded in 1998 with the objective of advancing the science, technology and application of Nondestructive testing and to impart the specialized skills required by the professionals engaged in NDT, Engineering Inspection, Construction and Quality Control.

NDTTech offers training, consultation, certication and Inspection services in Nondestructive testing, Engineering Inspection and quality control. NDTTech is promoted by NDT professionals who have been very active in the development of technology, applications and training of professionals in India and abroad.So far, majority of the NDT professionals in India had been trained on- the-job by their employers, as no organized training facilities were available. NDTTech is trying to bridge this gap by providing the required training with a combination of classroom training and on-the-job practical.

Courses in NDT currently offered by NDTTech are formulated based on the requirements of the personnel qualication and certication in Nondestructive testing ‘Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A’ of The American Society For Nondestructive Testing Inc. The training offered at NDTTech may be considered for qualication of the individual by their employers based on their written practice.

The faculty consists of well-qualied and experienced instructors. These instructors have been involved in training and certifying of NDT professionals in India and abroad for several years and possesses quality experience in the world of NDT.

At NDTTech, all NDT courses are being conducted by ASNT certied level III,Welding Inspection courses are conducted by the American Welding Society Certied Welding Inspector / CSWIP 3.2, and ISO 9000 courses are conducted by Certied Lead Assessor. All our instructors are ASNT certied Level III personnel and have the eld experience of 20 – 40 years.

NDT EQUIPMENTState-of-the art NDT instruments, both manual and fully automated systems are available with us for hands on experience. A technical library with a number of books and reference material on NDT and engineering Inspection are provided to assist the students in the acquisition of specic knowledge required. Participants are taught the basics and trained to perform the basic testing and assessment of the results independently with reference to a Code (ASTM/ASME) in the following Level I and level II courses

Penetrant Testing (PT)Liquid Penetrant testing is probably the most widely used NDT method. The test object or material is coated with a visible or uorescent dye solution. The excess dye is removed from the surface, and then a developer is applied.The developer acts like a blotter. It draws penetrant out of the imperfections which are open to the surface. With visible dyes, the vivid color contrast between the penetrant and the developer makes the bleed out easy to see.An ultraviolet lamp is used to make the bleed out uoresce brightly, thus allowing the imperfection to be seen clearly.

Introduction to NDT (Not offered on regular basis)

Introductory course covering the most commonly used NDT methods andtechniques. An excellent course for those who are not directly involved in NDT.Offered to Industries and individuals.

NDT Special applications (POST LEVEL II)Post Level II courses are usually taken up by the experienced ndt / inspection professional. Inspection Supervisors, Engineers, Inspectors and senior technicians attend these courses to enhance their knowledge base and for career growth.

Radiographic Film Interpretation (RTFI)

(Not offered on regular basis)The course is designed for the certied level II RT personnel. Various codes and standards are included along with a number of radiographs containing natural defects. (ASME Sec VIII, API 1104, AWS D 1.1, ASME B 31.3) Radiographic lms with natural and articial discontinuities in welds are being provided for the practical.

Participant should be able to independently carry out lm interpretation to any of the above codes upon completion of this course.Detailed acceptance – rejection criteria are being discussed in the class for a thorough understanding of the subject.

Course is ideal for those who plan for any Welding Inspector examinations or the AWS or CSWIP Senior Welding Inspector examinations. Most construction companies may require an in-depth knowledge of RTFI and our course is designed to meet the challenges faced by the Inspectors in the eld.
